World’s Best Martial Artist: I Can Fuse with Monster Souls - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Helpless Su Chen

Hearing Gao Fei call out Su Chen’s name, everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt. They could not understand why Gao Fei would mention Su Chen at this time.

The voices of discussion in low voices kept rising and falling.

“Why would teacher Gao still mention Su Chen? Could it be that he wants to praise his talent?”

“It can’t be that bad. If he wanted to praise him, he would have done so long ago. Moreover, teacher Gao just said that talent is not a decisive factor in a person’s strength.”

“Then why did he call him that?”

“Could it be… that Su Chen has some relationship with General Li Mo?”

“Hiss! Now that you mention it, it’s really possible!”

.

“General Li Mo should be in his forties this year. Although Su Chen is a little younger, it’s still reasonable!”

“No wonder General Li Mo didn’t have any information about his descendants. So that’s how it is. The case has been solved. Su Chen must be General Li Mo’s child!”

“F*ck, could this be the reason why Su Chen’s talent is so outstanding?”?

…

As everyone discussed, the situation became more and more ridiculous. Su Chen’s face was filled with black lines.

“Cough, cough.”

Gao Fei clearly heard everyone’s discussion. He lightly coughed twice to stop everyone’s discussion.

As the most famous Evolver in The Lighthouse, it was not appropriate for them to discuss rumors like this.

After coughing twice, Gao Fei finally got to the main topic.

“Su Chen, as you all saw earlier, his energy level at the beginning of the awakening was at level three.

“However, what you all didn’t know was that when Su Chen injected the gene reagent, he didn’t obtain his special ability. Instead, he only awakened his special ability during the last mission, when he was in a desperate situation.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

It was fine if Li Mo was so heaven-defying, but why was there someone among this group of rookies who had similar experiences!

Was this the reason why Gao Fei had mentioned Su Chen at this time?!

For someone with such talent, when he injected the gene reagent, he actually did not obtain any special ability!

They originally thought that after Su Chen obtained his special ability, he had already injected the evolution gene reagent through his connections.

However, the reality was completely different from what they had imagined.

Gao Fei did not pay attention to everyone’s surprise and continued speaking.

“During the last mission, Su Chen joined the exploration team as an employee.”

“At that time, he hadn’t awakened his ability yet. Just by relying on his own physical fitness, he was able to assist the combat team in repelling the petrified centipede tide and contribute in the process of fighting against D-rank Origin Beasts!”

Gao Fei’s words were undoubtedly a heavy bomb that suddenly exploded in the crowd!

For a moment, everyone’s expressions were filled with disbelief!

“What! He was actually able to fight against an Origin Beast without awakening his superpower?”

“Holy sh*t! What kind of monster is he?!”

“Did you all hear what Teacher Gao said? Teacher Gao said that he contributed in the process of fighting against a D-rank Origin Beast, not Su Chen directly fighting a D-rank Origin Beast! But even so, Su Chen is already very powerful.”

“Indeed. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be able to think of any way to face a D-rank Origin Beast.”

…

Although they had yet to see the Origin Beasts in the wasteland, but for the purpose of teaching, The Lighthouse would capture some E-rank Origin Beasts and imprison them.

The eagle-type Origin Beast that Su Chen had seen before was one of them.

Therefore, they had seen the terrifying defensive power of these mutated monsters.

Ordinary heavy weapons were unable to seriously injure these monsters and yet Su Chen had done it. Gao Fei would not lie to a newbie on such a matter. There was no need for that at all!

The fact that Su Chen was able to cause damage to the Origin Beasts without his special ability, or to say, affect the battle situation between Evolvers and Origin Beasts, was in itself a proof of his strength!

“Strong.” Zhang Yi’s pupils slightly trembled as he said in a low voice.

He no longer looked at Su Chen with contempt in his eyes.

Even when Su Chen’s test result was at level three, Zhang Yi did not have much of a reaction.

This was because this did not mean that Su Chen was much stronger than him.

When Gao Fei said this, Zhang Yi finally understood the gap between him and Su Chen!

At the very least, when facing a D-rank Origin Beast, Zhang Yi could not think of any way to influence the outcome of the battle without his special ability!

Why would Gao Fei mention this matter at this time?

The reason was very simple!

Gao Fei only wanted to tell them one thing. Talent could not decide everything.

As long as they could survive the numerous battles, that was the only way to become stronger!

Gao Fei looked at everyone’s shocked expressions and was very satisfied.

As a legendary figure in the lighthouse, Li Mo had to go through many hardships to stand at that height.

He could not bring any real pressure to the rookies.

This was because the distance between the two was too far.

Su Chen was a rookie himself, almost at the same starting line as them.

Su Chen’s personal experience could make the rookies present feel the same way!

Rookies needed enough pressure to have the motivation to grow stronger. Su Chen was the perfect example!

To Su Chen’s surprise, Nono did not bother him after hearing the news. Instead, she sat in her original position with her head lowered. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Su Chen was happy to be quiet.

Even if Gao Fei told him about his deeds, it would be difficult for him to finish this training quietly.

He was very clear about the reason why Captain Gao Fei brought him out at this time.

It was nothing more than to serve as a role model for the many rookies to see.

Although Su Chen’s special ability was quite special, it would be very difficult for others to catch up with his growth pace.

However, since Gao Fei had already given his example, it was impossible for him to hide his strength and embarrass Gao Fei at this time.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a confrontation segment later in this training.

It was used to temper the newbie’s battle awareness.

“It seems like I’m bullying others by participating in this training.”

Su Chen sighed helplessly.

This was not him wanting to bully others, but it was purely Gao Fei who forced him!

Gao Fei was obviously just watching the show and did not mind the fuss. Before everyone was done being shocked, he spoke again.

“Today’s theory class is over. Starting from tomorrow, we will begin actual combat practice. Those who can defeat Su Chen during the practice will receive an evolution potion that I personally sponsor.

“Class dismissed!”

Su Chen’s eyes widened. Was Gao Fei trying to give him trouble?

Was he not afraid that Su Chen would passively compete and make him lose a few evolution potions?

Even a veteran evolver like Gao Fei would not be able to exchange for many evolution potions, right?

He could clearly feel that everyone present, including Nono, was looking at him as if they were looking at a brand new evolution potion!
